1979-1993 Ford Mustang – Improving The Fox Trot

Late-Model Mustang Traction Aid

Much of the fun of driving a late-model Mustang comes from the ability to light the rear tires at will. But when it comes to actually trying to accelerate, tire spin is just spinning your wheels. Because of the relatively low amount of bottom-end torque the 5.0L produces (even in modified form), a little tire spin is usually best for a quick e.t, but the black tire marks at the 60-foot lights arent doing a thing for your dragstrip times. And, if youre into turning corners, the last thing you want is tire spin coming off an apex. So whats a Fox fanatic to do?

There are a number of traction devices available for this chassis, but one built for the dragstrip is usually detrimental to cornering (and may not be well suited for street use) and vice versa. One exception to this rule that we have tested is the Global West TracLink System. Global West doesnt claim its traction device will stop all wheelspin, but it definitely limits it.
